(OLDENBURG, CLAES). Oldenburg, Claes & Melinda Wortz. Los Angeles: Gemini G.E.L., 1976. First Edition. 4to. Rolled Printed Sheets. Print Prospectus. Near Fine.. Two 8 x 48" sheets joined to make a total 8 x 95" scroll printed black and white offset recto and verso, 11 b&w illustrations. This is one of Los Angeles-based Gemini G.E.L.'s more unique print/multiple prospectuses announcing the publication of eight lithographs and a black urethane sculptural multiple after Claes Oldenburg's 1976 "The Soft Screw" project. A most handsome example with the publisher's printed outer band of this exceedingly uncommon item - only six copies are currently cited in OCLC WorldCat - showing some trivial insect damage to one edge.
